WHAT DOES COGNATENESS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Cognate

In linguistics, cognates are words that have a common etymological origin. This learned term derives from the Latin cognatus. For example, the English words shirt and skirt are doublets; the former derives from the Old English sċyrte, while the latter is borrowed from Old Norse skyrta, both of which derive from the Proto-Germanic *skurtijǭ. Additional cognates of the same word in other Germanic languages include the German Schürze and Dutch schort.
